Jackdaw vs. HMS Experiment

The Jackdaw vs. HMS Experiment was a naval duel that occurred off the northern coast of Jamaica in September 1719, fought between the pirate brig Jackdaw and the Royal Navy frigate HMS iExperiment. The pirates, commanded by Edward Kenway, sought to acquire more metal so that they could upgrade the hull strength or firepower of the Jackdaw, and they happened to locate the Experiment off Jamaica as it carried a large cargo of metal. The Jackdaw assaulted the ship after it gained enough distance from its man o' war escort, HMS Neptune, and the pirate crew incapacitated the ship before boarding it. The ship was forced to surrender, and the pirates looted 150 crates of metal and 45 crates of rum from the ship before scuttling it.
